A new version of the COVID-19 reporting specifications has been released. For your convenience, the RCKMS team has added the new version into your account and copied over your existing reporting criteria and external references for Coronavirus. To adopt the new version, you will need to review the reporting specification and publish the new version to Published to Production status. Once the new version is published, the original version, 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019 nCov) – 1.0 Release 20200123, will automatically change to retired status.
Note, the new version of the COVID-19 default includes reporting based on all results for SARS-COV-2 nucleic acid tests. If you wish to receive only positive results for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid tests, or lab orders for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid tests/test panels, you will need to select the optional criteria on the Specifications grid.
The updated COVID-19 guidance document created by the RCKMS content team and updated RCTC can be found in the Content Repository linked below. For any additional questions, please submit a ticket or email the RCKMS team at rckms@cste.org.
